I really don&#39;t think Boris is about to give up on that.<br /><br />And until they bite the bullet and accept that the bull has two horns - better cycle infra and unbetter car infra - that will continue.<br /><br />Gilligan&#39;s remark about Amsterdam is silly. Just because they started 40 years ago doesn&#39;t mean it has taken them 40 years. I was last in Amsterdam at least a decade ago and it was just fundamentally better than London even then. If the comments box permitted I would draw a graph, but you know how it would look. Starts steep, then gradient decreases until it is just a gentle 1-in-20 rise. They got to that part decades ago.Paul Mhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/07929808238663838155noreply@blogger.com
